fema was this very large federal agency. i don't think it's appropriate for governor romney and i think the campaign is making the riot call to talk about any criticism of fema right now because we're all in this together. he's trying to do everything he can to help. he's kind of got a very tough line to kind of cross and straddle in the fact that he can't come out and criticize, he can't attack the president like he was doing the week before this because you don't want to have the picture of governor romney in florida being the attack dog on the president and then you've got a picture of chris christie and barack obama taking care of the folks in new jersey. so i think the romney campaign is setting the right tone, which is having that relief effort yesterday. i think you'll see that the next day or two until the president reengages back on the campaign trail. >> joanne, as we talk about what's taking place, we've got new poll numbers that have come in to show three critical battle grounds, florida, ohio, virginia. as we lo

when he was asked about fema, mr. romney said absolutely every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the state, that's the right direction. you can go further and send it back to the private sector. that's better. he talks about taking fema and divesting it into the states. yet, this week, i think that statement is many could go back to haunt him. is this more than anything a teachable moment for mitt romney? >> storms bring the best and the worst out in america. they both seem to show up during a natural disaster. a natural disaster is one that crosses a couple of states. i lived through hurricane hugo in 1989 and watched the politics of a hurricane. we were out of power. my business was down. for politicians, they have to be very careful. it can make or break a political career. this is where the american public expect the government to step up, not just for a couple of days or a couple of sound bites. right now, it is going to be the sound bites that will get us

because of some of the work that has been done ahead of time we have been able to get over 1,000 fema officials in place, prepositioned. we have been able to get supplies, food, medicine, water, emergency generators to insure that hospitals and law enforcement offices are able to stay up and running as they are responding. we'll continue to push as hard as we can to make sure that power is up throughout the region and obviously this is mostly a local responsibility, and the private utilities are going to have to lean forward. but we are doing everything we can to provide them additional resources so we can expedite getting power up and running in many of these communities. in newark, new jersey you have 80% to 90% of the people without power. we can't have a situation where that lasts for days on end. my instructions to the federal agencies has been do not figure out why we can't do something, i want you to figure out how we do something. i want you to cut through red tape and bureaucracy. there is no excuse for inaction. i want every agency to lean forward to make sure we are getting
